The effect of land fragmentation on risk and technical efficiency of crop farms

Eder, Andreas - 2024

Using a 2007-2014 panel of Austrian crop farms, we analyze the effect of multiple dimensions of land fragmentation on farms' production efficiency and risk performance. We use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a non-parametric linear programming approach, to estimate efficiencies. Technical...

Bayesian Model Averaging in the Context of Spatial Hedonic Pricing: An Application to Farmland Values

van Kooten, Gerrit Cornelis; Cotteleer, Geerte; Stobbe, … - Department of Economics, University of Victoria - 2007

Since 1973, British Columbia created an Agricultural Land Reserve to protect farmland from development. In this study, we employ GIS-based hedonic pricing models of farmland values to examine factors that affect farmland prices. We take spatial lag and error dependence into explicit account....
